Cruise from Bay Bulls with a naturalist guide to the four islands of Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. Expect huge seabird colonies, possible minke whales and dolphins, local songs, and optional screech-in fun. Noah is one guide praised for his clear wildlife facts and folk singing.

And after that, it was a party on the boat with live music, informative (and funny) commentary, some fishing, drinks, and screeching. The staff were so amazing, from the captain to the bartender, we all enjoyed the experience. HIGHLY recommend.”
